Only when my usage runs out

25% more usage sounds about right given the other token costs are down about 20%? I don't think cache read is a big portion of the overall cost.

Not that I've seen. The only follow up I've seen from someone was it only happened if you had a free account and not paid (which would explain why I'm unaffected)

I've been using ZCode since it's initial release and can't find any of this in my data. There aren't any logs showing capture or upload, and I don't even have a ~/.zcode/v2/checkpoints/ directory.

So unless they've cleared it all with a recent update then it doesn't seem to affect everyone.

Pi is a very basic harness by design. On the other hand OMP is a bloated mess of other people’s workflows.

The trick with pi is to extend it yourself as you use it. It’s pretty easy to do.

You need a paid dev account for that. I think self signed installs can run for a year.

Also the part people forget is the significant coordination cost of having multiple teams work on multiple native codebases.

I hate Electron apps with a passion, but I can understand why the AI companies are using it.

There’s nothing surprising about Bluesky’s audience being toxic to any mention of AI. It’s the dogma over there and anyone who doesn’t agree has long left or never joined.

Yep these software benches are only good at testing how well they can one shot. For the kind of attended/assisted development most of us do with agents it’s hard to find a benchmark that reflects my own experience of the frontier models still being quite far ahead.

It’s how sandboxed Mac apps work today.

> What’s wrong with people?

Confirmation bias.

Reasoning levels are often just injected system prompts so not a great way to fingerprint models.

PWAs hold themselves back, they don’t need any help from Safari.
